CRISTIANO RONALDO passed an incredible milestone during Saturday morning’s clash between Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli.
The Saudi giants faced down in the Saudi Super Cup final, held abroad at Hong Kong Stadium.
Al-Ahli emerged from the match as winners following a penalty shoot-out, extending Ronaldo’s wait for silverware with the club.
But despite the frustrating result, the living legend did bag himself an unprecedented record.
He dispatched the game’s opening goal in the form of a 41st-minute penalty.
This goal was his hundredth with the club since joining from Manchester United at the start of 2023.
This made the Portuguese star the first player in the history of professional football to notch 100 goals for four different clubs.
He scored 450 goals in his nine years at Real Madrid alone.
He also netted 145 times across two spells with the Red Devils, either side of bagging 101 goals for Italian giants Juventus.
The 40-year-old is now just over 60 away from reaching another unparalleled milestone of 1,000 career goals.
Now it is a race against time for the football star to keep adding to his tally and attempt to pass the millennium.
Ronaldo will be keen to get started again in order to reach that figure, and to finally secure a trophy with the club.
He will have the chance to start that journey as Al-Nassr start their Saudi Pro League campaign against Al-Taawoun on Friday.
That is if he is not too distracted following his off the pitch revelations, as he finally got engaged to partner Georgina Rodriguez this week.
